To score 200+ I think we need 11 batsmen..

Lets drop all the bowlers and allrounders....

we will have 11 side batsmen team

We need 11 batsman during the batting time and also need 11 bowler and fielder during the bowling period.

Then i Think World cup is just a matter of time.

Yeah, it was frustrating to see that Bangladesh could manage only 143 all out in the end in a batting line up that had batsman upto number 10, in courtesy of Whatmore's multi-skilled player strategy.

I wonder how things could have been if Manjarul and Jamal Babu had not played.

I suppose you could say that even with this batting line up, we could have gone all out for 66 - 75 - to our lowest ODI score?

Yeah, we wouldn't even have gotten to a 100 with 11 batters yesterday. You can fill the team with whoever the hell you want, at the end of the day, they will have to perform. Yesterday, Hannan apart, none of our batters performed! Thats the problem.

Pack the team with 10 bowlers, 1 Wkeeper. I am confident to say that we will reach 200+ since most of runs comes from the bowlers.

BD does not need batters, because they cant bat nor bowl, so what good are they. hehehe. i know i am right.
